Robeson Parks teamed up with AIVA and CMG Music to record a 64-piece orchestra.
This was recorded on the Barbra Streisand Recording Stage at Sony Pictures Studios.
Now the cool part about this project is that Aiva is an Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) that composes soundtracks and scores for films, video games, commercials, and any other type of entertainment content.
The A.I. has learned the art of music composition by reading through an extensive collection of music written from some of the greatest composers in history. It is then able to create a mathematical model representing what the music is. Aiva uses those models write its own unique and original music. The goal is not for the A.I. to replace musicians but to bridge the collaboration between man and machine. The 64 piece orchestra is rerecording what the A.I. Aiva has written.
